This week I shared the blessings of the iPhone's assistant, Siri, with lots of clients who've never used her! As a "naturally disorganized - but, now functionally organized" business owner I have discovered how amazing this tool is for a busy or disorganized people!

Example 1: you are driving and receive a phone call from a prospective client. You know your memory will fail you if you try to remember to call her back - come on, be honest, how many times have you said, "I'll call you as soon as I get to ___"? And then around 3am you finally remember! STOP trying to remember and use your fabulous assistant Siri.

Press and hold the home key till you hear the beep-beep.

** Siri - remind me to call back Jane Doe when arrive at the office

or

**Siri - remind me in one hour to check available appointments for Jane Doe

Now you can be assured the new client will indeed hear from you in a timely manner when that REMINDER pops up at exactly the time and place Siri promised!

Example 2: You need to read an email from Jane Doe.

**Siri - read the last email I received from Jane Doe

or

**Siri - reply to the last email I received from Jane Doe

Siri will ask what you'd like to say in your reply and will shoot off an EMAIL to Jane Doe immediately!

Example 3: You heard of a great new book that you'd like to read, a new exercise class to attend etc.

**Siri - make a note to read _______ book

**Siri - make a note to read up on new exercise craze

You'll find a new NOTE ready for whenever you're ready to check out those references.
